in the areas of: political action, national policy reforms, increased agricultural productivity for food insecure farmers,
improved nutrition for the chronically hungry, productive safety nets for the acutely hungry, improved rural incomes and markets,
and restoration and conservation of natural resources essential for food security. The strategy includes over 40 interventions
that poor countries can select and incorporate into individual action plans. Halving hunger is possible if these interventions
